Description
Subelongate; subconvex; shining; head, pronotum, and venter black; basal antennomeres reddish; palps, legs, and abdomen reddish-yellow; elytra yellowish with suture, humeral macula, and transverse band black. Head: vertex finely punctate, medial sulcus absent; small triangular projection present between antennal bases; frons not projecting; not depressed between eyes. Antenna: reaches beyond humerus; slender; antennomere 1 cylindrical, elongate; 2 transverse, ½ length of 1; 3 longer than 2, with triangular projection in male; 4 cylindrical, elongate, slightly longer than 3; 5–10 cylindrical, subequal in length, each shorter than 4; 11 subequal in length to 1, pointed at apex; 1–2 sparsely punctate; 3–11 setose. Pronotum: subquadrate; lateral margin straight then rounding to anterior angle, canaliculate; anterior angle rounded; posterior angle acute; anterior margin weakly emarginate behind head; disc subconvex; surface densely punctate, medial longitudinal line impunctate; transverse basal impression present; pronotal length 1.0–1.2 mm; pronotal width 1.1–1.3 mm. Scutellum: pentagonal; impunctate. Elytron: lateral margin straight, smooth, narrowly margined; apex rounded; sutural angle with small tooth; humerus rounded, not produced; slightly constricted behind humerus; strongly punctate-striate, rows converge and unite apically; elytral length 2.9–3.1 mm; elytral width 1.6–1.8 mm. Venter: pro-, meso-, and metasterna punctate; abdominal sterna punctate, each puncture with white seta; suture between sterna 1 and 2 complete; last sternite with apical margin emarginate medially in male, sinuate in female. Leg: slender; punctate, each puncture with pale seta; tibia with fringe of setae on inner margin of apex. Total length: 4.2–4.5 mm.
